Privateers

"Card game for 2+ players. Latter half of the Seventeenth Century. Players are European Nations employing Privateers to attack each other’s shipping." "In this era, only about 20% of a Nations Fleet would be Crown property, the remainder were privately owned ships, that when they were not augmenting the Battle Line, were permitted to do Commerce raiding on their own." Each player chooses to play one of four nations: Spain, England, France, or Holland. The custom card deck includes nine types of cards: Ships, Captains, Crews, Bases, Escorts, Merchants, Treasures, Defenses, and Events. The object of the game is to be the first player to amass 100 gold.
